从医疗诊断、哲学两个维度讨论强迫症。关注到，强迫症患者，信念之间的不一致。

值得注意的概念：alief 【与belief相对】

In philosophy and psychology, an alief is an automatic or habitual belief-like attitude, particularly one that is in tension with a person's explicit beliefs.

For example, a person standing on a transparent balcony may believe that they are safe, but alieve that they are in danger. A person watching a sad movie may believe that the characters are completely fictional, but their aliefs may lead them to cry nonetheless.
